Prague Part 2

Even though we slept horrible Saturday night, we decided we couldn't let it slow us down and after breakfast we headed to the Jewish Quarter of Prague.
Our main goal was to visit the Old Jewish Cemetery where approximately 200,000 Jews are buried. The earliest of gravestones dates back to 1439 and really is an amazing sight.
After our walk through the cemetery we headed to Old Town Square just in time to have a beer and watch the Astronomical Clock do it's thing.
We walked through some back alleys to avoid the typical tourist traps and found a great Czech pub and stayed there for too long.
We purchased some Czech pottery and then headed back to the hotel.
It is here where I wish I could tell you about the Sex Machine Museum or Pretin Hill but those weren't meant to be. There were so many more things I wish we could have seen and done while in Prague but I guess those will have to wait for another trip, preferably, with a healthy baby boy.

Old Jewish Cemetery
Rocks or coins are left behind by those that visited this grave.
Old Town Square
(Shelly, a friend of the Brewsters, who has visited Prague on multiple occasions told us the story of the Church of Our Lady (below). The right tower is clearly thicker than the left and so it represents the female and the thinner tower (the man) is protecting her from the wind. So nice.)
See the Saints in the windows?
Goulash in a bread bowl... yes please.
And of course I can't forget to mention...
our little man is a big 6 months old!
(that's a 6 there by his head, in case you thought we were just taking this ridiculous photo for fun.)
Oh boogie, we love you!
